  • Its summer 2021 on the River Great Ouse and we travel from Great Barford to Eaton Socon. Editing this video on a dark day in December definitely lifted my mood. I hope you enjoy it too.

    ► FAQ
    Q• Why do you speed up some of the footage in your videos?
    A• We don't, we film it as time-lapse footage. We do not have the battery capacity or data storage to film in real time as our cruises can last up to 7 or 8 hours. We use to the time-lapse footage to help tell the story of movement rather than showcase the scenery. We limit the amount of time-lapse shots we use in each vlog.
    Q• Why are your video's so behind?
    A• We would love to release all our video's in the same week that we film them but that isn't possible for us. Jo only really has the capacity to edit two video's per week and as we make a video for each cruise that we do and we some times cruise 3 or 4 or 5 times a week we inevitably get behind. We fit in the vlogs around our lives not the other way round.

    Now you've got me confused -- it's December right? the 22nd, right? Wednesday here in Toronto, please, right? Of course, if Jo can be profoundly fickle about "favorite mooring", then Michael can be fickle about which month it is. Happy Holidays to you both. Thanks for making this year a bit more bearable.

    I can remember Great Barford lock when I walked round it and it was derelict in 1971.I never did get to Barford when I did most of the Ouse in 1918.It looks lovely so as I'm based in Northampton I shall have to do the trip soon and get to the end this time.

      Sorry for the confusion. I'll add a not to the description.We are currently on the outskirts of London doing boat renovations but we still have a number of vlogs to edit from the summer so we are alternating between the cruising vlog back log and the renovation vlogs. We do put the date at the start of each cruising vlog so viewers know when it was filmed.

    T b h .having survived 4 years and completing your goal.
    I admire your tenacity .
    But have you ever holidayed somewhere twice.
    Second time is always easier and more pleasant due to knowing the best spots etc.
    I think you should do it again.your lifestyle in present climate is unparalleled by any other path you could chose.
    Education and business can now be done on line as you both know so live a free life don't tie yourselves down . cruise life choose life and most of all enjoy life.
    Joe's business brain George's retrieving ability and your nepalise food fixation will see yous through
    Mo mo Micheal has a certain franchise ring to it 😁
    .ps I want a free one if you make millions 😂😁😂
